Department of Cardiovascular, First Affiliated Hospital to PLA General Hospital Beijing 100048, P. R. China.
Objective: To explore the influence of BNP (Brain Natriuretic Peptide) in plasma on the long-term cause of mortality and prognosis of patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD).
Method: We performed a retrospective cohort study of 276 inpatients that enrolled in our hospital from March 2003 to December 2004 and had a history of heart disease and received a BNP test. Kaplan-Meier survival curves with Log-Rank test were used to compare the survival rates among different levels of BNP (<100 ng/L, 101~1000 ng/L, 1001~5000 ng/L and >5000 ng/L).
